it'd be great if venus ended up preventing serena's calendar year grand slam, considering how many times she has lost to her in the finals.

but really, even if venus could win she would probably let serena take the match.

Its pretty obvious that she will not even try to win the match. lol

Who was the WTA player that said in a press conference that "Venus v. Serena was a family decision"?

I remember she was forced to apologize after that comment

 

[LuuKyK]

Apparently Genie had a concussion. She is having trouble even walking. Wow. So unfortunate. Poor girl.

If she can't even walk, then why hasn't she withdrawn yet I wonder.

 

[LuuKyK]

No idea, but its pretty obvious. She cancelled her practices today and didn't even ask for rackets.

 

[sam777]

Keys can bloody half hit through a ball.

 

[Niraj]

They said Bouchard withdrew

 

[perfectchaos007]

Breaking: Eugenie Bouchard withdraws from US Open singles

edit: dammit beaten

 

[dream]

Oh god. I am gutted. An entire nation weeps for you, Genie.

 

[Deleted member 231381]

I don't like her, but that's super unfortunate. I hope she recovers soon. :/

 

[Mory Dunz]

Wait, Serena just won...?

No comments on the match during the whole match?

EDIT:
Oh, one.

 

[Cooter]

Serena is the best athlete/competitor in any sport. Period.

 

[LuuKyK]

Head injuries can get really serious, I hope it doesnt leave her with any lingering problems like migraines or dizziness, because it can happen.

It was a really boring match.

It wasnt at all, Keys had some awesome game winners. Her power is something else.
Shell be a top ranked player someday.

I didn't think it was. Keys played some excellent points and with her power I wouldn't be surprised if she is a slam contender in the next few years.

 

[killer_clank]

Bah, Murray got Armstrong tomorrow during the day. That court is like his kryptonite, and I'd imagine it's less than ideal to play a big server like Anderson there.

 

[Niraj]

Fognini is awake

Aw gave it back

 

[Ricker]

Ah man too bad about Genie,she was getting her confidence back,I think she would of won against Vinci this time...oh well,you don't mess with a concussion, hope she heals well...

 

[zero_suit]

Tsonga seems to be breezing through his matches. Is he playing well or is his competition lacking? Both?

Concerning Venus versus Serena, if Serena wasn't about to make history, I would be pulling for Vee.

 

[Smellycat]

I am very surprised that the Serena/Madison match was during the day. Outcome aside, why would they schedule Makarova/Mladenovic as the night match? Bizarre to be honest. Unless they wanted to have the Williams Sisters play back to back to generate excitement for their anticipated QF.

 

[John Dunbar]

i'm glad djokovic-bautista-agut is on so late. it's going to be a slaughter so no need to stay up.

 

[Niraj]

Wow, nice shot

 

[sam777]

No surprise to see Fognini losing, the Nadal curse continues. Since January I believe only Djokovic has beat Nadal and went on to win the next round I believe (RG, qf).

Although Fognini may still do a comeback.

Five players (Tsonga, Djokovic, Federer, Isner, Wawrinka) yet to drop a set.

 

[Niraj]

Lopez keeps serving well to get out of trouble

Edit: shame Fognini couldn't play better.

 

[John Dunbar]

if lópez gives even a decent effort against djokovic he will forever be deliciano in my books.

 

[sam777]

Djokovic hasn't been great at all this summer, so I wouldn't be surprised if Lopez puts up a really good fight against him.

 

[Simply Sami]

And people thought Fognini could trouble Djokovic.

I knew the style of play Lopez has would cause him issues.

 

[Niraj]

Mardy could've been here if he hadn't choked

 

[Simply Sami]

Amazing really how these guys in their thirties are playing better tennis than they have previously.

Fognini keeping up the tradition of putting out Nadal, then going out in the next round.

They do this on Labor Day Weekend—while they're competing against other competition in the evening, they've got the daytime to themselves, and so they typically put marquee matchups in the afternoon.

 

[szaromir]

Wow, today must be one of the most uneventful days at a major in recent years.

 

[Niraj]

Hope Tsonga beats Cilic. Cilic has won their last three matches, but they've never played each other in a slam.

 

[killer_clank]

Wow, today must be one of the most uneventful days at a major in recent years.

just wait until bautista-agut beats djokovic.

 

[Simply Sami]

Wow, today must be one of the most uneventful days at a major in recent years.

It hasn't helped that the draw is loop sided.

Tomorrow the matches look so much better. Anderson could cause Murray problems. Berdych vs Gasquet will be match of the day.

Federer vs Isner isn't a done deal by any means. Fed was off against Kohlschreiber and with Isner's serve it's always a lottery anyway.


Wow, Djokovic is playing aggressive tennis. Such an uncommon sight.

 

[Rafa=FedKilla]

Yeah I'm worried for Roger, especially if he is off and plays tentatively. He needs to SABR Isner's second serves.

 

[killer_clank]

bautista-agut is playing well.

 

[Niraj]

Good effort at least.

 

[Rafa=FedKilla]

You have to be aggressive against players like RBA. You have to.


Too bad LaLo doesn't have anything to hurt Djokovic with. Enjoy the final.

 

[Niraj]

Hope he can hold after that.

 

[szaromir]

The winner is not in doubt, but damn if it's not an entertaining match.

 

[Niraj]

Holy shit at that forehand

 

[Smellycat]

I have never seen this side of RBA lmfao where did it come from.

 

[Space Avocat]

Awesome!!!!!

 

[Niraj]

Agutsy performance

 

[EdibleExplosives]

Holy shit.

Was about to go to bed if Djokovic won the second set, I guess I'm staying up.

 

[Simply Sami]

Well this match has taken a turn.
